# This is used in many ways. Note that this setting has no relation to HTTP chunked transfer encoding - Netty will
# read "chunks", that is, byte buffers worth of content at a time and pass it to Play, regardless of whether the body
# is using HTTP chunked transfer encoding. A single HTTP chunk could span multiple Netty chunks if it exceeds this.
# A body that is not HTTP chunked will span multiple Netty chunks if it exceeds this or if no content length is
# specified. This only controls the maximum length of the Netty chunk byte buffers.
